Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Vivobook's price, ease of use, ample RAM and storage, and lightweight design. However, many users cite concerns regarding the keyboard quality, particularly the key color and lack of backlighting, and report shorter than expected battery life. Slow boot times were also a common complaint. The large size of the laptop was mentioned as a drawback by some users.

    Gave my laptop to my daughter for college so I needed a new one. This has lots of memory but runs kind of slow. It is very large and is not touch screen but overall is a good laptop. It is easy to use and set up but even though I have fiber internet it still runs slowly.

    Saw this laptop on sale for 50% off and was impressed by the memory/screen size for the price, but was also leery after reading many of the reviews. I figured I had 15 days to return it if it was that bad, so I went ahead and ordered one. The laptop was delivered the next day at no additional cost. During the initial setup and seemingly endless updates to download/install, it was rather unimpressive and slow. But once everything was up to date and out of S Mode, it's been great. Don't let the negative reviews scare you away. The screen resolution and battery life could be better. A backlit keyboard would also be nice, but for under $400 I am very happy with it.

    Good value for what I paid (half regular price) on sale. Fast and plenty of storage and memory. Would not pay full price. Non backlit keyboard characters are nearly impossible to read - gray letters on silver.

    I love the Asus laptop. Great screen size, fast processor (Intel i5) and tremendous memory/capacity. Now the "down side". I didn't get a back lit keyboard and I did not notice a problem with the keys until I got it home but the keyboard is almost impossible to see without lighting at a certain angle.

    So Slow

    I bought this laptop due to the higher 12GB memory (many are 4 or 8) and 1TB storage. I believed with the higher memory, that the laptop would load with more ease and more quickly. Boy was I wrong! I believe this is the slowest laptop I've had in 20 years. Do not buy this laptop. Seriously, I should have worked on it more during my return period and now I'm stuck with it. I hate it! Truly hate it! I can't say one good thing about it. Ugh!

    I absolutely hate this computer. It is extremally slow and lags behind. The first time I used the computer, It took 1 hour to set up. The only benefit was the 1TB of memory, but it's not even worth it! I will return this computer today. My older HP performs so much better! Also, this computer is very heavy and the keyboard is difficult to see.
